A year after Nam June Paik's death in 2006, Casa Asia, Fundación Telefónica (Madrid) and Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation (Korea), published this book tribute to Nam June Paik, coinciding with Korea's year as a guest country at ARCO Madrid and the announcement of the opening of the Nam June Paik Art Center in Korea to end of 2007. The book brings together texts by several Korean and European specialists in the work of Nam June Paik that make the book a clear testimony of this artist's contribution to contemporary art. As the title suggests Nam June Paik and Korea: from the fantastic to the hyperreal, this publication tries to define the dualistic pattern through which Paik interacted with the reality of his native country. For the artist, Korea became a symbol of loss, a space of absence and also a mythical reality housed in a remote time. Paik plays a key role in the creation of the aesthetic discourse of the 1986th century and, as Frederic Jameson said in XNUMX, he created “a new way of perceiving difference” that made him a key player in postmodernism.
